Prop 13 Arizona

The Prop 13 Arizona initiative is a grass roots effort

Property taxes will continue to rise at unbelievable rates unless citizens get involved.

It takes thousands of average citizens to make real change and unless citizens get involved with local organizations that change comes very slowly or unfortunately sometimes not at all.
